Artists push the boundaries of perception, transforming the way we see and experience the world. Unframed brings together three films that explore creation as a driving force for transformation. Each film focuses on an emblematic artist who has expanded the limits of artistic expression through radical gestures. Anselm Kiefer reimagines history from the remnants of destruction, layering materials and memory into monumental landscapes. Apolonia Sokol inscribes herself onto the canvas, navigating the fluid space between identity and artistic survival. Nam June Paik reshapes technology into an expressive medium, redefining the relationship between image, time, and language.

Rather than merely documenting these artists, these films become part of the creative process, offering new ways to perceive artistic practice beyond traditional frames. This film cycle, part of Squatfabrik’s artist residency, positions cinema not as an observer, but as a space of invention, where art and film converge into new ways of seeing.
